Subject: [PATCH v2] perf: close the opened directories.

When I ran "perf kvm ... top", I encountered the following error output.

  Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files)

  Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

Looking into perf, I found perf opens too many direcotries at initialization
time, but forgets to close them. Here is the fix.
